ya I would love to own a sj, I'v always been a yamaha guy. I think I would have to come down to the states to get one I have never seen one down here. thanks for the info on the oil it will help me a lot!:bananalama:

you guys in the states are lucky, in the states I would run regular gas but in Canada they pump so much ethanol and other crap into our regular gas that premeum is the only thing that keeps our two-strokes alive. (besides I'm already paying double what you guys do for gas so whats a few more...

hi guys since I got the engine out of my js440 (crank rebuild) I was just wondering if there are any weak points that I should inspect before reasembly (like on the hull, pump, or pole) any advice is great, I'm completely new to this sport, I'm fixing this thing and I dont even know how to ride...
